Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story (2020)
Murder to Mercy- not the best
This documentary could have been better. Mostly just a bunch of old footage. This doc has quite a few missing pieces. This isn't the quality documentary that Netflix usually brings us. Cynthia's story deserved a much better presentation.
The Last Dance (2020)
We know how this ends, but the documentary starts out perfect!
We saw Michael Jordan on the court for several years, but this documentary brings you in as if you don't know how it all ends. This documentary is very well put together. It begins the first two episodes with flashbacks between the early start Jordan's career and college days to the career high of champion seasons. The story then moves on to Pippen's story with a similar order (early days then career high), but also a challenging relationship with team ownership. As the series moves on we will get to Rodman and more of Phil Jackson's history with Chicago. The Last Dance is definitely a must see.
Queen & Slim (2019)
See It Before Assuming!
I agree that the movie definitely isn't perfect, but this is cinema! Don't assume you know what it's all about without seeing it. This is a love story that begins with an life-changing interaction with a police officer. This is not a film for everyone. However if you watch it, you won't leave the theater without some emotion.
Ma (2019)
Welcome to Ma's
We definitely get to see Octavia's acting skills in another light. She spayed this role! I liked this movie more than planned. There are a few twists you don't see coming. However, the trailer gives too much away.. I wouldn't call this horror movie, but more of a good thriller. Ma also has some humor.
It's worth the watch!
Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019)
They Woke the Dragon
First, shame on those that rated this episode without seeing it. Now the review.....This is the GOT we know! You may not completely like the ending, but Sapochnik's directing is brilliant!!! The camera shots made me feel like I was in it, heart pounding, and looking for a place to hide. This episode really stands out among the rest of Season 8.
Going mad looks somewhat good on Dany (minus killing innocents). I was somewhat surprised to the level the writers took it. We have been so groomed to like her, but now...
Hopefully this is what George had in mind for us and not just D&D.
The Intruder (2019)
Dennis Quaid is SOOOO Good!!!
A few plots and twists are here that you may not see coming. This movie was surprisingly more entertaining that expected. If you are thinking you get everything from the trailer, you don't. Quaid's performance blew me away! No plot holes left behind here.... Megan Good slays also in the film!! She's a secret weapon you don't see coming. The pace is somewhat slow, but appropriate for the plot.
Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé (2019)
HISTORIC!
Great job Bey!! Not sure what some of the hate is about, but remember this film documents Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella performance. If you're not a fan of her music, you may want to skip this. For the die hard fans, aka the "Beehive", this is your inside look of the show and what it took to get to Coachella.
If you saw the show on YouTube last year and was impressed, this is a better representation.
The title of this review is "Historic", because that's what Beyoncé's 2018 performance was and you can Google the "why".
Breakthrough (2019)
Give It A Chance
Grab the family, tissue, and see this movie! 1 star- really??? Great family movie and based on a true story! This is a faith-based movie. It is what it is. The humor was appropriate, but not the main event. It's about hope, faith, and belief.
